With all the recent focus on MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) it is worth nothing another Indigenous Woman was just murdered. ....by her indigenous husband ....who is getting a super short sentence for killing her ....because he is indigemous. Canada = clown country

@ketch1998547166 @shapirois48 @boomomo413 @webobll @yemisi I don’t think you understand what the word representative means

Does the Dearborn delegation think they are the entirety of Michigan?

@Soge_King___ @JJ_McCullough Should trigger a by-election unless they choose to sit as an independent

@JJ_McCullough Not saying this is what is happening, just a genuine question, suppose the PM stopped representing the values of a MP, should they be allowed to switch parties?

On election night, Canadians elect a majority or minority government. It’s called on TV and everything. If MPs have no firm loyalty to a party, however, then the whole concept of majority/minority governments stops making sense. Even having a prime minister stops making sense.

There’s a certain idea that you hear a lot from the Canadian media that basically any random ass undemocratic thing that happens in Canadian politics is perfectly fine because that’s just “our system” and you should shut up and accept it. The voter should be understood to have zero influence over anything of actual consequence in terms of who runs this country, while the politicians should get to do whatever they want. Because that’s “our system.” I feel like a lot of this stuff has a very gaslighting quality to it. When people make these blunt “our system” arguments they’re basically telling Canadians to not trust their own instincts of right and wrong or just or unjust. They’re told “this is just the way things are done here and if you complain you’re an ignorant simpleton.” These arguments are ALWAYS made in the direction of giving more power to politicians and less power to voters. I’m getting sick of it.

@neutr4lised @mynamehear @EliSeeney How do you reconcile this theory with the fact that both parties have objectively moved to the left on some social issues like gay marriage and marijuana legalization?

@mynamehear @EliSeeney What about this theory genius

Being a leftist is basically saying you want equality, justice, a clean environment, and a fair opportunity for everyone, then doing everything possible to make sure the political party actively trying to destroy those things wins every election.

@wyshynski @JFreshHockey Do you think Celebrini has been a better player than Kucherov this year? The answer is no, and we shouldn’t give him the Hart for being the 4th best player in the league and having shitty teammates. We should just give it to the best player

@JFreshHockey This is nonsensical. Use their underperforming teammates to measure how good they've been but don't factor underperforming teammates into the value they've given the team?

Since there's more Hart Trophy discourse, bumping this article. The Hart Trophy is for the best player in the league that season. All the hand-wringing over "most valuable to his team" is 1. dumb and 2. makes the award debate dumb 🔗: jfresh.substack.com/p/the-hart-tro…

Chalamet sat there with a smile while the host of the show and all of his peers took the piss out of him on national TV all night and he still was happy to celebrate Michael B Jordan beating him. And headlines like this still get written.

@RonoAnalyst @probey360 I feel like we usually see this called when the breakaway is closer to the net and especially when it affects the shot. I’d still like to see it called more in the neutral zone like this example when it’s the players speed being impeded though

@probey360 To be fair in this case, I’ve already seen several very similar situations that the referees actually called a penalty shot for in the NHL.

🇨🇿 Head coach Radim Rulík was very, very unhappy with the referees after the game against 🇨🇦. “The referees really worry me. What they’re allowing against us is unacceptable. After every game, we send them two or three clips where they confirm that the opponent should have been penalized. I don’t understand it. I just don’t get it. I feel like everyone is afraid to call anything against Canada. We were basically playing against six players. I don’t want to make excuses, and no one has to agree with me, but the video backs me up. In this respect, it’s not a fair tournament. It was happening to us even against Denmark. The mix of NHL and European referees hasn’t worked — everyone calls the game differently. I watch two NHL games on replay every single day. The play Nečas made today — when his stick was touched on the breakaway — is always a penalty in the NHL. But suddenly, not here. I’m really sorry about it. The guys deserved a top-level performance from the referees. They always admit afterward that we were right, but nothing ever changes. We should have had power plays against Canada. But they were afraid Pasta or Nečas would score another power-play goal. And if Gudas was penalized, then Doughty should have been too for the hit on Pasta.”

@pauldcronin @nickiacoban From what I understand this is a purely analytics-based model so that shouldn’t matter, but I do get the concern with Seattle’s track record

@ctagh55 @nickiacoban Kraken crap at developing (see Wright) and Stephenson blocks a clear path at the NHL level

Following the list of most improved players earlier, it's now time for the list of the most regressed players. This is a list you want to avoid being on. Being here does not mean you're not playing badly. It means that the season you're having is not ideal for your development, which could be because of stagnation, regression, or something else. Cole Eiserman leads this list, sorry Isles fans. In his draft year, my model had him at 84% to be a 1st liner. That dropped to 45% last year and is now at 10%. His unadjusted NHLe went from 19.5 to 14.5 to 10.8 in those years, respectively. Not ideal... Kent Johnson comes in next after regressing from a 69-point pace last season, down to a measly 25 this year. He looked like a 1st liner for Columbus before this season. Now there's more doubt as his 1st line odds have dropped from 59% to 9%. Some of the guys on this list come from a lack of statistical development in the same leagues as last year. Many of the next players fit this bill: Luca Cagnoni, Jett Luchanko, Matthew Poitras, David Jiricek, Shane Wright, Nikita Artamonov, and Tristan Luneau. Most of these players all still have solid shots to be NHLers, and good ones. That's only the case, though, if the trend they're on doesn't continue for much longer.

I feel like the traditional Republican line has been that carrying a gun around with you in public is fine, and an appropriate exercise of your 2nd Amendment rights. But now the Trump administration is arguing that carrying a gun is sufficient cause to assume you’re a terrorist?
